A secure grip starts at your lead hand, and conditions decide more than preference does. We make a reinforced synthetic for regular dry rounds, cabretta leather for feel through the shot, and suede rain gloves that grip harder the wetter they get. Fit snug with no loose material across the palm, and rotate two gloves if you play most weeks.
The material affects comfort, grip and durability. Leather offers a soft feel and better feedback from the club, while synthetic materials are easier to maintain and often perform better in damp conditions. Consider where you play most often and how much maintenance you're happy to do before choosing the right glove.
Fit
A golf glove should fit like a second skin. Too much extra room can affect your grip, while a glove that's too tight may become uncomfortable during longer rounds. Look for a snug fit across the palm and fingers without restricting movement, allowing you to maintain a consistent grip throughout your swing.
Weather Suitability
Standard golf gloves are suitable for most rounds in dry conditions. If you often play in wet weather, consider rain gloves designed to maintain grip when the course and your hands become damp.
Grip
The texture across the palm and fingers plays an important role in keeping the club secure. A glove with reliable grip can improve control throughout your swing while helping reduce unwanted movement. Look for a palm with a textured or high-grip finish, especially if you often play in warm or humid conditions.
Testing the waters. A glove that gives basic grip without fuss. Focus stays on learning, not fumbling with equipment.
Playing in all seasons. Warm weather, cool mornings, and humid conditions all need reliable grip. A glove that performs without losing tacky feel through regular washing.
Wet-weather golfers. Wet conditions demand grip that actually holds. When standard gloves slip, the right one keeps control where it matters.
Extending Your Golf Glove's Life
Hand wash after every round to remove salt, sweat and dirt that wear the material. Rinse in cool water, squeeze gently and lay flat to dry. Never wring or twist, as this damages the fit and grip texture. Once dry, stretch slightly to maintain the right shape before storing. Replace gloves every 20-30 rounds depending on use and course conditions. Rotate between two gloves if you play multiple times a week to extend their life.
Golf gloves by type
Type
Best for
Leather gloves
Players who prefer natural feel and traditional look, willing to replace regularly.
Players wanting durability and moisture resistance without premium pricing.
Synthetic gloves
Golfers playing in variable conditions, wanting one glove that handles wet and dry.
All-weather gloves
Players with smaller hands or juniors, needing proper fit for control and comfort.
Measure across your palm just below the knuckles and match that to the size chart. A golf glove should sit snug with no loose material across the palm or spare length at the fingertips, tighter than an everyday glove. If you're between sizes, take the smaller one, as leather relaxes with use.
How often should I replace my golf glove?
Replace your golf glove once it begins to lose its grip, fit or comfort. How long this takes depends on how often you play and the conditions you play in. Rotating between two gloves can also help extend their lifespan.

Should I wash my golf gloves?
What's the difference between leather and synthetic gloves?
No, most golfers wear a glove on their non-dominant hand only (left for right-handed players). This is where your hand grips the club most firmly. Some golfers wear both in cold weather for extra warmth.
Yes, gently hand wash with mild soap and cool water after play to remove salt and dirt. Air dry flat, never machine wash or tumble dry. Clean gloves last longer and maintain grip better throughout their lifespan.
Leather golf gloves provide a soft feel and excellent feedback, making them popular with experienced golfers. Synthetic gloves are generally more durable, easier to maintain and often perform well in changing weather conditions.
Grip Control Matters More Than You Think
A well-fitting golf glove helps you maintain a secure grip and stay comfortable from the first tee to the final hole. Compare different materials, fits and weather-specific options to find a glove that gives you confidence every time you step onto the course.
